Aiming to get back on top, the King of Kings dethroned Orton, cutting his title reign short at just 20 minutes.

This didn't sit well with McMahon though, who announced that the pre-organized match between the Game and Umaga would be a title match, which Triple H survived.

Fatigued from two gruelling encounters though, the Cerebral Assassin was forced to compete again in the show's main event, against a rested Orton in a Last Man Standing match.

Now in his third match, the Game was dethroned, making his shocking 2007 World title reign his shortest ever.
